Introduction & Vision
Nigeria is home to one of the largest youth populations in Africa, with millions of children possessing extraordinary creativity, resilience, and innovation capacity. However, many do not have access to structured opportunities that nurture early leadership, digital skills, creativity, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement.
DreamRise Fest 2026, presented by the Lola Cater Foundation (LCF), responds to this national need by creating a comprehensive, month-long empowerment festival designed to inspire, equip, and uplift children aged 8–17.
Executive Summary
The Lola Cater Foundation (LCF) proudly introduces DreamRise Fest 2026, Nigeria’s largest and most inspiring children’s empowerment festival, a month long celebration of creativity, innovation, leadership, and potential for Nigerian children aged 8-17 years.
Presented as a national development platform, DreamRise Fest will feature a series of thematic events throughout May 2026, culminating in a Grand National Children’s Day Celebration on May 27th in Abuja with 1,000 children in attendance.Each event and activity focuses on a critical area of child development: entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, creativity, and leadership, aligning withSustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 17).
DreamRise Fest is more than a celebration; it is a nation-building platform that connects children with mentors, institutions, and opportunities that help them dream boldly, rise early, and lead purposefully.
